Head coach P.J. Fleck and his coaching staff cast a wide net on the recruiting trail and apparently that net includes Europe, as the Minnesota Golden Gophers reeled in a verbal commitment from Netherlands cornerback Richard Agyekum over the weekend. Fleck and co. first saw him at one of their satellite camps last week and invited him to campus.
None of the internet recruiting services have produced an evaluation for Agyekum as of yet, so he has no 247 Sports Composite Rating. But he was singled out as a top performer at the PPI Recruits/247Sports combine open to aspiring football players out of Europe.
